Seventy-nine, Zhen Baoyu condolences
If it is the characters who come in person in the official face, they are all received by Xue Kuan, Xue Kuan boasts that he has now won the right to the long house, and he is already the next Governor of the Weaving Mansion, naturally he is proud of the spring breeze, and he is about to take advantage of this time to make more friends with the characters on the official face, but the Xue family is not a serious official eunuch, and the people who come are nothing more than looking at the face of Xue Ding, who died, and seeing that Xue Ding's bones are not cold, Xue Kuan took away his nephew's livelihood. Although this kind of thing is seen a lot in big households, it is really rare to make such an ugly fuss just after passing over, so everyone is a little disdainful, although they didn't say it, but they didn't seem to have a good face in front of Xue Kuan.

At the end of the Yin period, Xue Wang and Baochai also came out to wait in the mourning hall, and the rest of the people were just waiting, Xue Pan just knelt in front of the spirit and waited, he was a filial son, and today the hanger came, regardless of the size of the generation, the status of the person, as long as it is to come to mourn, it is necessary to kowtow and return the salute.
The door of the weaving house opened straight, Xue Pan looked out from the mourning hall, only to see a white piece between heaven and earth, from the mourning hall to the gate, the candle flame was shining, the smoke was fluttering, and the wailing sound was faintly audible outside.
On the octagonal copper shelf in the gate, there is a big drum, which is also decorated with blue and white silk very beautifully, the drummer sees the hanger arrives, and when he gets off the sedan chair, he picks up the drumstick wrapped in white cloth, and knocks three times, from light to heavy, from slow to fast, and then knocks violently; The family members who led the way held up the prayer post, took the hangers, and shouted, "Master so-and-so has arrived!" Since arriving in the second hall, and then at this time, several clan elders and Xue Kuan took turns to greet them, accompanied to the front of the mourning hall to salute the incense, Mr. Zanli invited a garrison officer with a loud voice, he shouted the rules of the ceremony, hanged the guest salute, and then Xue Pan kowtowed and returned the salute, and the family members hid behind the white curtain to raise their grief and cry.
Then let the acquaintance lead the hangers to the back hall to serve tea and snacks. This is a similar process, but there is no need to spend much time on Xue Pan's mind, just kneel and kowtow.
The guests didn't recognize all of them, but fortunately there was no need to be polite at this time, and after a while, the family member who led the way shouted, "Young Master Zhen of the President's Mansion has arrived!" ā
Unexpectedly, Zhen Baoyu arrived, several acquaintances hurriedly rushed out and came to greet them together, Zhen Baoyu didn't pay attention to these people, his face was faint, but he just arrived in front of the mourning hall.
There is a family member with a polished Yunnan white copper plate, holding a thin white cloth torn into a belt, this reason is called "handing filial piety" Zhen Baoyu only needs to take it and tie it around the waist, but Zhen Baoyu bowed to the incense, but did not act like this, in order to show that he and Xue Pan have a deep relationship, different from others, he specially asked the Xue family's family to wear a white cloth filial piety robe, and regarded himself as Xue Ding's junior, Xue Pan is very grateful, people have always wanted face, Zhen Baoyu and himself signed a contract, but I didn't expect to drop the chain on the big scene, I know that if I have the opportunity in the future, I must repay it.
Xue Pan kowtowed and thanked him, and Zhen Baoyu knelt down to return the salute, "Brother Shi, please mourn and change, the next days will be very long, your filial piety Uncle Shi must know, don't hurt your body." ā
"Yes, yes!" Xue Pan said, "Brother Labor is still coming to such a crowded place today, I really can't help it." Xue Pan shouted to the person behind the curtain, "Since you are the world brother, you are not an outsider, so my wife and sister please come out to see each other." ā
Xue Wangshi and Xue Baochai came out from behind, Zhen Baoyu saw Xue Baochai, who was elegant and pure but did not lose his noble color, his heart shook, and he wanted to kowtow and salute again, saying hello to Xue Wang, Xue Wangshi hurriedly pulled Zhen Baoyu up, saying that he didn't dare to be, "You come out today, please say hello to your mother instead of me, since we meet today," Xue Wang's also obviously glanced at the beautiful Zhen Baoyu, "If you are free in the future, please give me more advice on this unfilial dog." ā
"Brother Shi is very skilled, but my nephew should ask for more advice." Zhen Baoyu said.
"He's all stealing chickens and dogs, and he can't take it seriously," Xue Wang said, "Your knowledge must be higher than his, when to bring this useless thing, if you can enter the school, it will be the best to take a fame test." ā
Zhen Baoyu's face stiffened, and he smiled, Xue Pan snickered in his heart, this Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu have the same temperament, they don't like to read, they don't like worldly fame, if it weren't for the sake of you as an elder, I'm afraid that I would have rejected you a long time ago.
So hurriedly interrupted, at this time it was close to noon, the guests also came almost unevenly, the drum at the door did not rise, no hangers came, Xue Pan knelt tired, and also thought about being lazy for a while, "I will accompany the world brother to sit in the back for a while." ā
So Xue Pan got up, he knew that Zhen Baoyu didn't like to be with the laity and mediocrity, so he naturally didn't want to go to those officials and business people to mingle, so he took Zhen Baoyu to his study to serve tea, Tong Shu and a few brothers were here, and when they saw Zhen Baoyu wearing filial piety clothes, they all praised Zhen Baoyu, "It's really the meaning of the ancient benevolent!" ā
Zhen'er took the Lu'an melon slices and brought four kinds of dim sum steamed in a small steamer: dried steamed buns with pureed shepherd's cabbage, dried steamed buns with flora-vegetarian gluten and pine nuts, glutinous rice balls filled with sesame walnuts and brown sugar, and jujube paste and yam cake. Each is exquisite, the roasted wheat is only bigger than a fingernail, Zhen Baoyu ate a few steamed buns with pureed shepherd's cabbage, and said to Xue Pan, "This steamed bun stuffed with shepherd's cabbage is delicious, full of fragrant teeth, and it is the food in your mansion." ā
"What Uncle Zhen said is true," Tong Shu hurriedly answered, "As the saying goes, it's not 'three generations of officials, I don't know how to dress and eat', this kind of food has never been seen outside us, the younger brother thought in his heart, in addition to eating such a beautiful thing in the Xue family, Jinling City is full of calculations, but I am afraid that only your mansion can take it out!" ā
Zhen Baoyu smiled slightly, "I'm not as good as my brother here." ā
"The words there," Xue Pan said with a smile, "I am a proper layman, upholding the word life in the world, eating and drinking." The family is also accustomed to me, and knows that I am attentive to eating, so I must also be specially flattered, and I am afraid that my brother will come today, so I specially instructed them to do it carefully. It's not as good as the one in the World Brother's Mansion. ā
These people knew that Zhen Baoyu's temperament didn't dare to flatter more, and after laughing, the drums outside beat again and again, Xue Pan looked at the self-striking bell hanging on the cabinet, and knew that it was time to enter the banquet outside, so he hurriedly confessed.
When they arrived at the mourning hall, a very neat table of sacrifices was placed in front of the spirit.
